Joe Leddington of Kentucky, the nephew of Colonel Sanders, claimed he had found a copy of the original fried chicken recipe on a handwritten piece in a scrapbook envelope. Tribune staff conducted a cooking test for this recipe, several attempts were made to get right. They claimed that with some trial and error and add musk as flavor enhancer, they produced fried chicken that tasted “indistinguishable” from KFC.

Hand breaded, freshly prepared and Finger Lickin’ Good®! Our chicken isn’t made the fast way or the easy way.

IT’S MADE THE HARD WAY.

Each fresh batch of the world’s best chicken starts with our cooks inspecting each individual piece.

Then, our fresh chicken is carefully rolled 7 times in our secret blend of 11 herbs & spices before being rocked 7 times and then pressure cooked at a low temperature to preserve all the great taste we’re known for around the world.

We could find an easier way to make chicken, but then we couldn’t put our name on it.
